Please read through the guidelines carefully. If you have any questions, query. We will try to respond to submissions 30 days or less. *NEW: We have an Online Submission Form for those wishing to submit formatted poetry/fiction in lieu of email. Do not send Photo/Artwork using the online form.

Proofread all your work. No poem, work of art will be removed after publication for any reason.

Submit three to five pieces of poetry, prose, or artwork in any combination and wait until you have received a response before submitting more work.

You may submit previously published work as long as you state where and when it was first published. No simultaneous submissions. All feature writers/artists are by invitation only.

Send submissions as plain text in the body of your email. In some cases where you need to retain special formatting, you may send as an attachment or use the Online Submission Form. (Do not double-line space except between paragraphs and stanzas).

State the media in the subject of your email: "Poetry (or Prose) Submission: Your Name." Otherwise your submissions will end up in the Spam folder. Tryst does not accept any untitled pieces; treat them as your own children and give a name/title to all your work.

Send all artwork, and photography in JPG format as an attachment or the URL links to view your work. Once you have submitted your work to Tryst, please send any change of email addresses, updated URL's to the editor. Rejected email is synonymous with rejected work.

Include a cover letter with your submissions and a brief bio stating your first and last name (or pen name), city and country. The editors reserve the right to edit bios for brevity and welcome personal photos but it is not mandatory for acceptance.

Presently, Tryst does not offer monetary compensation for accepted work. We will, however, promote your name. When you submit your work, it is understood that you are:

a) Acknowledging the writing or artwork is of your own creation.

b) You are granting Tryst permission to publish your work upon acceptance and to archive your work for any length of time.

c) As a courtesy, we also ask that you mention Tryst as the first publication should your work be reprinted elsewhere in the future. Personal copyright reverts back to the artist upon publication.

Submissions will be responded to as quickly as possible. Submissions will never knowingly be ignored. If you do not receive a response within sixty days, please query. After carefully reviewing these guidelines, you may submit your work to: submissions@tryst3.com or use our Online Submission Form.

Issue XVIII is scheduled to release, September 2007.
